Tang San Awakens

Seeing Li Qing's expression turn somewhat strange, Zhao Xuan asked in confusion, "Senior, is there a problem?"

"No." Li Qing smiled and shook his head slightly.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Zhao Xuan walked straight toward Xiao Wu. He still needed to ask her in detail about the Titan Giant Ape.

The instant Zhao Xuan turned away, a trace of doubt appeared on Li Qing's face again. He looked at Xiao Wu. "This aura... something isn't right."

Little did he know that Zhao Xuan, after turning around, was equally unsettled. Under the perception of his divine sense, nothing could remain hidden...

Suppressing that shock deep within his heart, Zhao Xuan decided to forget it—better yet, to forget it completely.

Tang San's condition was terrible. Xiao Wu had focused all her attention on Tang San and had not noticed the gazes of Zhao Xuan and Li Qing. Her petite figure looked especially helpless.

Zhao Xuan paused, deciding not to ask Xiao Wu further about what had happened this time, because he already had a faint guess in his heart.

The Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring was extremely violent. Compared to the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent Oscar had absorbed before, it was far more powerful. Tang San's face was twisted, clearly enduring excruciating pain.

"Ah!"

Tang San let out an unconscious low roar. The heart-rending pain made everyone feel as though they were suffering it themselves.

Xiao Wu's tears immediately fell like a kite with its string cut. The others could not help but shudder, looking at Tang San with awe. They had no idea what kind of agony he was enduring, but that cry of pain alone was enough to make their blood run cold.

Crackling sounds came from Tang San's body, as though his bones were changing. The Blue Silver Grass crawling along the ground gradually became thinner, and its color began to change as well.

"It seems he's already passed the dangerous stage." Li Qing walked to Zhao Xuan's side and spoke in amazement. A Plant-Type Martial Soul Fusion with Beast-Type Soul Ring—worthy of being the Master's disciple. His skill was high, and his courage even higher.

"Xiao Xuan, who is he?" Xiao Wu seemed startled as she asked timidly.

"This is Senior Li Qing, a titled Douluo," Zhao Xuan briefly introduced.

"Greetings, Senior." Xiao Wu's pupils suddenly contracted as she lowered her head and greeted him softly.

"No need for such courtesy." Li Qing nodded gently.

After the brief introductions, they looked at one another in silence before turning their gazes toward Tang San, each with different thoughts in mind.

Tang San's bones seemed to be undergoing an unusual reconstruction. Suddenly, with a ripping sound, all his clothes were shredded apart by the leaking Soul Power. He was left completely naked, without a single scrap of cloth on him.

"Ah!" Several girls cried out in embarrassment.

Compared to them, the boys were far more shameless. Oscar and the others gathered together, pointing at Tang San with great interest.

"Ah!"

Tang San suddenly cried out in pain, startling everyone.

His whole body convulsed violently, and he suddenly hunched over. Several bulges appeared on his bronze-colored back, constantly writhing beneath his skin.

In the next instant, eight sharp Spider Spears burst from the bulges on Tang San's back. The Spider Spears continued extending, reaching lengths of more than three meters in the blink of an eye.

"Are those the Man Faced Demon Spider's spider legs?" Everyone was instinctively shocked. The Spider Spears growing from Tang San's back looked very similar to the Man Faced Demon Spider's legs lying nearby.

"Xiao San... he isn't going to turn into a monster, is he?" Ma Hongjun said tremblingly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Dai Mubai slapped Ma Hongjun irritably. Staggering underfoot, Ma Hongjun nearly planted his face into the ground.

After the Spider Spears emerged, the pain on Tang San's face gradually faded, and he returned to calm once more.

Upon closer inspection, the Spider Spears were slender and bony. One side possessed a razor-sharp edge that gleamed with cold light, while they also carried a faint sweet fragrance.

The Spider Spears suddenly stabbed into the ground, lifting Tang San, who was sitting cross-legged, into the air. Countless Blue Silver Grass stalks rose wildly and wrapped around Tang San, forming an egg-shaped cocoon.

Only then did everyone have time to react. Zhao Wuji had led students to obtain Soul Rings for so many years, and he had no idea how many students he had brought before, but no class had ever been this troublesome. What happened to Tang San was even more unheard of.

"Senior, do you know what is happening to Tang San?" Zhao Wuji asked Li Qing for advice.

Li Qing frowned. "I seem to have seen something like this somewhere before, but it was far too long ago. I can't remember it now."

"However, one thing is certain: this little fellow is fine. His Blue Silver Grass seems to have mutated. Although it has become thinner, its toughness seems to have increased. And those Spider Spears on his back definitely aren't a bad thing."

Li Qing picked up a stalk of Blue Silver Grass transformed from Tang San's Martial Soul and moved his finger slightly. An invisible sword aura sliced it apart.

He tried pulling it, but the Blue Silver Grass was exceptionally tough. His brows rose. Was this really just Blue Silver Grass?

Hearing Li Qing say this, the heavy stone in everyone's hearts fell halfway, and they relaxed somewhat.

Xiao Wu murmured nervously, her eyes red. "Xiao San, you mustn't let anything happen to you."

No one had expected this transformation to last an entire day. The sky changed from dark to bright, then from bright to dark again. Fortunately, there were enough of them to take turns guarding Tang San.

At last, Tang San awakened.

"Mmm..."

After a soft groan, the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Tang San bloomed like a chrysanthemum. Each slender stalk naturally spread outward, revealing Tang San in the middle.

Naked as the day he was born—truly a spotless white streak rising from the mud.

The girls' faces flushed bright red. They lightly spat in embarrassment and turned away shyly.

Xiao Wu forced herself to endure her embarrassment, staring intently at Tang San's face and doing her best not to let her gaze drift downward.

Then Tang San slowly opened his eyes. The first person he saw was the figure he had been worrying about in his heart.

"Xiao Wu!" he could not help calling out.

What a deeply affectionate scene between brother and sister! The two embraced and wept. Those who heard it felt sorrow, and those who saw it shed tears. The boys sighed in emotion, while the girls quietly watched.

"I say..." Zhao Xuan's voice rang out at an inappropriate moment, filled with helplessness.

"Could you put some clothes on first?"

Tang San frowned in confusion, then looked down at his body. He instantly froze.

"Who took off my clothes?" he asked blankly.
